What has been reviewed?

The Public Service Commission (PSC) has undertaken policy review of Maternity/Legal Adoption/Parental Leave Supplement to Employment Insurance (EI), also referred to as "top-up". Top-up benefit provides employees on maternity/legal adoption/parental leave with a supplemental payment that is in addition to the EI benefits received during a period of unemployment.

What has changed?

A number of "top-up" policies and supporting tools have been combined to provide better client service.

The PSC also developed additional supporting tools for employees who are applying for maternity/legal adoption/parental leave and "top-up" such as:

Updated HR policies and application forms clearly communicate roles and responsibilities within the application process. For instance, it is managers/supervisors' responsibility to acknowledge and sign the "top-up" application form and to submit a copy to the Human Resource Service Centre at hrsc@gov.sk.ca.
